My 1st 4Runner

[helusay]

Hi Guys,
I just bought a 1990 Toyota 4runner, it is going to need work too. I was thinking about replacing the seats and carpet. Finding the carpet is easy, but the seats are hard to find, they are blue. I have no headrests in the back. Does anyone have a good source for parts in or close to AZ? Oh yeah, can the seats be replaced with seats from another 2nd Gen? Oh yeah, I was going to have the tranny (automatic) rebuilt and probably lift it someday. I don't plan on rock crawling, but I do want to put 33's on it and maybe posi the rear axle. Does anyone have suggestions on a) a solid replacement for my transfer case when I do my tranny, b) lift suggestions, and c) do I need to go to a straight axle in front for the lift? Any other advice you can give on anything will help tremendously.
Thanks in advance

search on ebay for the seats, any second gent set should be interchangeable. I just did a search using this link and found a blue set:

Almost everything from a same generation truck is interchangeable, truck or runner, 2wd or 4wd.

If you're not into rock crawling a straight axle is totally un-necessary.

No need to do anything with the t-case either (and w/an auto you're very limited anyway).

A ltd slip, or better yet a locker is always a good choice.

hope this helps

Thanks for all of the help folks, I think I am just going to re-upholster the inside of the truck, or at least the seats. I got a quote yesterday on a 4" Superlift for $1971 installed, is that a good price, or should I keep shopping?
